Watch It
By a customer from Glasgow, Scotland , 24 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Starting off as a light hearted comedy and progressing in to an amusing and engaging look at some very dark subject matter, Life is Beautiful is almost two movies in one, with both relying on the central performance of Roberto Benigini.
This is one of the most amusing and engaging movies I have seen for some time. It has been claimed this movie mocks the holocaust, but in reality only those with the most closed of minds could possibly argue this having watched the movie. Simply because the movie is light hearted does not mean that the viewer will not sympathise with the characters involved here and in fact this will probably have a bigger emotional impact on you than any number of darker films.
Funny, Enjoyable and Moving. A must see for everyone.- Was this review helpful to you?

Total load of garbage & sub titled
By midlandsman (24 reviews) , 05 Apr 2013what a total load of tosh has to be by far the worst film i have ever tried to watch the lead in the film talks and chatters so much and so load and so fast it was like a bag full of rats on acid chewing at my brain. Also at no point are you told before you rent this film that it sub titled could only stand about ten mins of the film and felt like throwing it in the bin let alone send it back- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 09 Mar 2013Before the boy came along the story felt like it wasn't leading anywhere, the dubbing was annoying and afterwards it improved the film had meaning and made sense it was heart warming, and sad.- Was this review helpful to you?
